My neighbour and his family are isolating with symptoms of COVID-19 so I volunteered to walk their dog, Missie, who had been restricted to the garden for several days. We took a walk around a nearby park in Stirchley, taking care to avoid other dog walkers, and to stay out of the freezing wind! Missie is used to walking off-lead so was fairly baffled by having to walk with one, especially when she found a stick she wanted me to throw for her. After a refreshing stroll we headed home, windswept and just a little muddy.
